We couldn't let the week get away without acknowledging our teaching staff and all of the work they've done over the past year that is above and beyond what is asked of them in a "normal year." The ongoing pandemic has been challenging in so many ways, but through all of the hardships our teachers continued to show up for our students and find new ways to bring light back into the eyes of our students. The masks may cover all of the smiles we love seeing so much, but we can still feel the special bond so many of our students have with teachers. It's that bond that makes our Highland staff so special. We value and appreciate each and every one of you!
If you haven't taken time to thank a teacher yet this week, we encourage you to take a moment and reach out! A simple handwritten letter will make their day!

My name is Isabel Tucker and I am a senior at Highland Schools. One of my graduation requirements is to complete a senior exit project. This year I have taken on the mission of building a monument in honor of the Veterans of Highland. While speaking with the members of the American Legion/VFW, they informed me that they had been wanting a monument in Highland for a while. I felt that my project was the perfect opportunity to help them achieve their goal and also thank them for their service.
This is a project that is close to my heart as I have many family members who are Veterans. My dad served as a Marine, my great-uncle Gene fought in Vietnam, my great-grandfather Sommerville and great-grandfather Tremelling fought in World War II, my great-great grandfather Slopak fought in World War I, and my cousin Danny is currently serving in the Air Force.
My mentor Dennis Richgels and I have been working together on finding the dimensions of the monument, the materials needed and who will be providing them, who will be featured on the monument, and the location. As of now we have that information and we are now asking the community for donations.
If you are able, we would greatly appreciate it if you could make a donation to help us complete the project of building a monument for the Veterans of Highland.
Thank you in advance for your contribution. Your donation will go towards having the monument built for everyone to see and enjoy.
Here are ways you can make a donation:
Call us at (608) 341-7665
Send a check to the American Legion with the provided address
Highland VFW or Highland American Legion at P.O. Box 45
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Isabel Tucker

Dear Parent/Guardian,
We will not have school on Monday, November 16th and Tuesday, November 17th. These two days will be professional days for the staff. We will then move to virtual learning from November 18th until December 4th.
We will be offering the option to pick up student breakfast and/or lunch each day of virtual learning. Meals will not be served November 16 - 17 and November 25 - 27.
If you would like to order meals, please call the office (929-4525) by 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, November 17 for meals to be picked up November 18-20 and November 23-24. Please call by 8:30 a.m. on Monday, November 30 for meals to be picked up November 30 through December 4. Pick up time is 10:00 each morning.
Please watch your email for any updates. Remind your child(ren) to watch school email for information teachers may share regarding assignments or materials that need to be picked up at school. Please make arrangements to get material picked up in a timely manner. December 4th will be a virtual half day for all students.
The Health Officer for Iowa County shared the following earlier this week: “As the COVID situation in Wisconsin worsens and hospitals continue to surge to their limits, Wisconsin Hospital Association and the Stop the COVID Spread! Coalition released a somber ad and the attached press release yesterday.” The ad can be viewed here and the press release is linked here.
Please consider staying at home and not gathering with anyone outside of immediate family. The spread of COVID-19 is rapidly increasing because people are contagious without symptoms. We have many families in our district with one or more members who are positive. If you or your family are quarantined, please follow protocols to prevent the spreading of the virus. Notify the school if your child is diagnosed with COVID-19 or is a close contact to someone who was diagnosed with COVID-19. Encourage good habits: frequent handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, use of face coverings in public, and staying home as much as possible. If a parent or any household member has been tested for COVID and are waiting for results, remain at home along with all family members until results are back. If positive, the health department will instruct you and household members on isolation and quarantine dates.
Thank you,
Josh Tarrell

Highland Cadinals are up for the team of the week on https://Wissports.net Highland's defense had been outstanding this year, but it was the offense that spear-headed a 32-27 comeback win over Potosi/Cassville in a matchup of unbeaten top ten teams in Division 7. Quarterback Justin Miller helped orchestrate things, completing 16-of-30 passes for 244 yards and three touchdowns, including what turned out to be the game-winning 10-yard score to Isaac Michek. While the defense did allow 365 rushing yards to Potosi/Cassville, they also recorded two key interceptions.

Highland Community Members,
In order to recognize our men and women who served our country, we would like to construct a veteran's memorial wall in our school building. Grant Hying, a 2020 graduate, as part of his senior exit project, designed this memorial with the mentorship of Highland Alum, Theresa Aide. We hope that this wall will be a constant reminder for all of our students currently and for years to come of the huge sacrifice all the men and women who served our country made and continue to make to keep our country free.
If you would like to donate to the construction of the wall please send a check payable to Highland Community Schools- Veterans Wall. Any donation toward this cause will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much, and please let me know if you have any questions,
Josh Tarrell

ATTENTION CARDINAL ATHLETICS FANS:
Last week, the WIAA shared its Guidance for Summer Activities as a living document that will change as conditions change. The document can be found on their website wiaawi.org. We encourage to you take a look. In addition, the Highland Athletic Staff continues to work with administration, the school board, the Department of Public Instruction, the Department of Health Services, the WIAA, and other local agencies to develop a plan to increase student participation in organized physical activities yet this summer. Our goal is to share more detailed information with families later this week. We will be looking for student and parent input at that time. The goal for possible summer contact is to allow students to participate in activities where it can be done safely. As always, any sessions are voluntary and will not be mandated. Please check your email for more updates. #cardinalpride #HCScardinals

Gov. Tony Evers has directed the Wisconsin Department of Health and Services to mandate a statewide closure of all K-12 schools. Highland Schools will be closed all of next week for Spring break. We will remain closed after that until at least April 6.
The physical building will also be closed to public access. Spring sports will be suspended until the Health Department allows school to resume.
The school district will provide more information to families as it becomes available.
High school students had the opportunity to video chat with former exchange student, Claudia Editori, about how COVID-19 is impacting her home country, Italy. She has been in mandated isolation in her home for weeks now. She is very informed on how the virus spread throughout Italy and spoke of many of the precautions we should be taking to help prevent the spread of the virus in our area. We are grateful for the global connections we have and opportunities to connect with people from around the world. #cardinalpride #HSCcardinals

As our community mourns the loss of a Highland Community Schools alumni it’s safe to say Levi Linscheid left a lasting impression everywhere he went. As we browsed through yearbooks his contagious smile was always one of the first to pop off the pages. His involvement in athletics, clubs and organizations showed that he wasn’t just here because he had to be, he was a proud member because he chose to make the most out of every opportunity possible. There is no doubt in our mind that the legacy to “Live Like Levi” will have a positive impression on the youth in our community for years to come. #highlandthrowback #throwbackthursday

The list of accomplishments these three individuals have is extensive, but perhaps most impressive is how humble they were in accepting this honor. A common thread through each of their speeches was how much effort it took from their parents, teammates, and community members to help them achieve such athletic accomplishments. It was only through teamwork and dedication they are where they are today. Congrats, again, 2019 Hall of Fame Inductees! #cardinalpride #HCScardinals

Over the summer months the high school business lab underwent a complete remodel. The space, which used to be made up of built in work spaces, is now a multi-purpose classroom where students can gather and collaborate on various projects. The room still houses the same amount of technology, but the space is organized in a much more inviting, business like matter. This isn't the only high school flexible seating classroom this year. Ms. Weber, Spanish and AP English, teacher also transformed her classroom into a non-traditional, deskless learning space. We're excited to see how these learning environments benefit our high school level students. If you didn't make it in to the open house, we encourage you to stop by to see our innovative new learning spaces! #cardinalpride #HSCcardinals
